Battle of the Louvre

The Battle of the Louvre occurred in late 1940 during World War II. French Resistance fighter Sean Devlin was sent to destroy the Nazis' radio transmission tower at the Louvre in Paris, ending their propaganda broadcasts and freeing the area of German occupation.

During the occupation of France, the Germans used the Louvre as a stage from which to broadcast their fascist propaganda throughout the city. Resistance leader Margot Bonnaire sent Sean Devlin to destroy their transmission tower and end their propaganda broadcasts. Devlin snuck into the Louvre's courtyard and located an unattended Panzer III tank, which he then used to blast his way towards the tower. Devlin wreaked havoc upon German occupation towers, a fuel depot, other tanks and armored cars, German soldiers, and everything else that stood in his way. He then proceeded to plant dynamite on the transmission tower, destroying the monolithic structure. With the destruction of the German base at the Louvre, the surrounding area was liberated of German occupation, and the German propaganda broadcasts ceased.
